5.                  COLLECTIONS; SET OFF; DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS; NOTICE OF ASSIGNMENT; EXPENSES; POWER OF ATTORNEY.

(a)                Each Borrower will immediately, upon receipt of all checks, drafts, cash and other remittances in payment of any inventory sold or in payment or on account of such Borrower’s accounts, contracts, contract rights, notes, bills, drafts, acceptances, general intangibles, choses in action and all other forms of obligations, deliver the same to Lender (by way of collection accounts described below) accompanied by a remittance report in form specified by Lender.  Said proceeds shall be delivered to Lender in the same form received except for the endorsement of any Borrower where necessary to permit collection of items, which endorsement such Borrower agrees to make.  Lender will credit (conditional upon final collection) all such payments against the principal or interest of any loans secured hereby on the date received by Lender; provided, however, that, for the purpose of computing interest, the Collateral Monitoring Charge, the Unused Credit Line Fee and any items or payments received by Lender shall not be considered to have been credited against any loans secured hereby until three (3) days after receipt by Lender of any such items.  The order and method of such application shall be in the sole discretion of Lender and any portion of such funds which Lender elects not to so apply shall be paid over from time to time by Lender to Borrowers.  In connection with this Agreement, Borrowers and Lender have entered into agreements with Enterprise Bank & Trust Company (the "Collections Bank") establishing collection accounts ("Collection Accounts") on behalf of each Borrower, but in Lender’s name, or, at Lender’s discretion, a Collection Account in such Borrower’s name, provided that the same shall always be subject to a deposit account control agreement ("DACA") providing, inter alia, that Borrowers shall have no rights of withdrawal from any such Collection Account. Borrowers shall not change or terminate any Collection Account nor open any other Collection Account without the prior written consent of Lender.  Should such Collection Accounts be terminated by the Collections Bank, then each Borrower shall immediately deliver directly to Lender all such remittances and payments until such time that Lender and Borrowers enter into replacement agreements with another financial institution in all respects acceptable to Lender establishing Collection Accounts and Lender, Borrowers and such financial institution shall have entered into a DACA with respect to such Collection Accounts in form and substance satisfactory to Lender.

-13-

(b)               In addition to subsection (a) above, Lender will at all times have the right, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, to require each Borrower to enter into a lockbox arrangement with Lender for the direct collection of such remittances and payments.

(c)                In addition to subsection (a) above, Borrowers shall establish with Enterprise Bank & Trust Company (the "Disbursement Bank") a separate deposit account into which Lender will deposit all Revolving Loans hereunder and from which Borrowers shall make all disbursements (the "Disbursement Account"). Borrowers shall enter into a DACA with respect to such Disbursement Account, but Borrowers shall have rights to withdraw from such Disbursement Account until Lender sends a notice of exclusive control to the Disbursement Bank.  Lender agrees that it will not send such notice of exclusive control until the occurrence of an Event of Default, in which event Lender shall have unrestricted rights under such DACA. Each Borrower will provide to the Lender all passwords and access information including, without limitation, all wiring and ACH instructions, with respect to any depository account owned by it or maintained for its benefit such that Lender shall be able to review and access each such account in the same manner as any Borrower.

(d)               Each Borrower shall maintain all of its bank accounts including, without limitation, its Collection Account and Disbursement Account, solely as listed in Schedule "C" annexed hereto.

(e)                Each Loan Party hereby grants to Lender a Lien and right of setoff as security for the Obligations to Lender upon and against the Collateral.  At any time, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may set off the same or any part thereof and apply the same to any liability or Obligation of Loan Parties that is due and owing to Lender, regardless of the adequacy of any other collateral securing the Obligations.  ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE LENDER TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE OBLIGATIONS, PRIOR TO EXERCISING ITS RIGHT OF SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF ANY LOAN PARTY, ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED.

(f)                 Lender may at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default notify account debtors that Collateral has been assigned to Lender and that payments shall be made directly to Lender.  Upon request of Lender at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Borrower will so notify such account debtors and will indicate on all billings to such account debtors that their accounts must be paid to Lender.  Lender shall have full power to collect, compromise, endorse, sell or otherwise deal with the Collateral or proceeds thereof in its own name or in the name of such Borrower.

-14-

(g)               Borrowers shall pay to Lender on demand any and all reasonable counsel fees and other expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the preparation, interpretation, enforcement, administration or amendment of this Agreement, or of any documents relating thereto, and any and all expenses, including, but not limited to, all reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, and all other expenses of like or unlike nature which may be expended by Lender to obtain or enforce payment of any account either as against the account debtor, Borrowers, or any guarantor or surety of Borrowers or in the prosecution or defense of any action or concerning any matter growing out of or connected with the subject matter of this Agreement, the Obligations or the Collateral or any of Lender’s rights or interests therein or thereto, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any counsel fees or expenses incurred in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and all costs and expenses (including search fees) incurred or paid by Lender in connection with the administration, supervision, protection or realization on any security held by Lender for the debt secured hereby, whether such security was granted by any Borrower or by any other Person primarily or secondarily liable (with or without recourse) with respect to such debt, and all costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the defense, settlement or satisfaction of any action, claim or demand asserted against Lender in connection therewith, which amounts shall be considered advances to protect Lender’s security, and shall be secured hereby.  At its option, and without limiting any other rights or remedies, Lender may at any time pay or discharge any taxes, Liens or other encumbrances at any time levied against or placed on any of the Collateral, and may procure and pay any premiums on any insurance required to be carried by Borrowers, and provide for the maintenance and preservation of any of the Collateral, and otherwise take any action reasonably deemed necessary by Lender to protect its security, and all amounts expended by Lender in connection with any of the foregoing matters, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, shall be considered Obligations of Borrowers and shall be secured hereby.

(h)               Each Loan Party does hereby make, constitute and appoint any officer or agent of Lender as such Loan Party’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with power to endorse the name of such Loan Party or any of such Loan Party’s officers or agents upon any notes, checks, drafts, money orders, or other instruments of payment (including payments payable under any policy of insurance on the Collateral) or Collateral that may come into possession of Lender in full or part payment of any amounts owing to Lender; to sign and endorse the name of such Loan Party or any of such Loan Party’s officers or agents upon any invoice, freight or express bill, bill of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, notices in connection with accounts, and any instrument or documents relating thereto or to such Loan Party’s rights therein; to give written notice to such office and officials of the United States Post Office to effect such change or changes of address so that all mail addressed to such Loan Party may be delivered directly to Lender; granting upon such Loan Party’s said attorney full power to do any and all things necessary to be done in and about the premises as fully and effectually as such Loan Party might or could do, and hereby ratifying all that said attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof.  Neither Lender nor the attorney shall be liable for any acts or omissions nor for any error of judgment or mistake, except for their gross negligence or willful misconduct.  This power of attorney shall be irrevocable for the term of this Agreement and all transactions hereunder and thereafter as long as Loan Parties may be indebted to Lender.  The foregoing notwithstanding, excepting only the endorsement of checks that come into the possession of Lender, Lender agrees not to exercise the foregoing power of attorney until the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing.

(c)                The Obligations of Borrowers shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise of any of the Obligations, and shall not be subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any of the Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Obligations of Borrowers hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any provision of any thereof, any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of any of the Obligations, or by any other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of Borrowers or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Borrower as a matter of law or equity.

(d)               To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Borrower waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any other Borrower or the unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any other Borrower.  Lender may, at its election, foreclose on any security held by one or more of them by one or more judicial or non-judicial sales, accept an assignment of any such security in lieu of foreclosure, compromise or adjust any part of the Obligations, make any other accommodation with any other Borrower, or exercise any other right or remedy available to it against any other Borrower, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Borrower hereunder. Each Borrower waives any defense arising out of any such election even though such election operates, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Borrower against any other Borrower, as the case may be, or any security.

-34-

(e)                Each Borrower is obligated to repay the Obligations as joint and several obligors under this Agreement.  Upon payment by any Borrower of any Obligations, all rights of such Borrower against any other Borrower arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Obligations and the termination of Lender’s commitment to make Loans.  In addition, any Indebtedness of any Borrower now or hereafter held by any other Borrower is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the prior indefeasible payment in full of the Obligations and no Borrower will demand, sue for or otherwise attempt to collect any such Indebtedness.

18.              BORROWER REPRESENTATIVE.  Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and constitutes Trans-Lux as its agent (in such capacity, the "Borrower Representative") to request and receive Loans pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents from Lender in the name or on behalf of such Borrower. Lender may disburse the Loans to such bank account of Borrower Representative or a Borrower or otherwise make such Loans to a Borrower, in each case as Borrower Representative may designate or direct, without notice to any other Borrower.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Lender may at any time and from time to time require that Loans be disbursed directly to an operating account of a Borrower or to any other Person.  In addition, each Loan Party hereby irrevocably appoints and constitutes the Borrower Representative as its agent to receive statements on account and all other notices from Lender with respect to the Obligations or otherwise under or in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

19.              MISCELLANEOUS.

(a)                No delay or omission on the part of Lender in exercising any rights shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right.  Waiver on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy on any future occasion. All Lender’s rights and remedies, whether evidenced hereby or by any other agreement, instrument or paper, shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly or concurrently.

(b)               Lender is authorized to make Loans under the terms of this Agreement upon the request, either written or oral, in the name of Borrowers by any authorized person whose name appears at the end of this Agreement or by any of the following named persons, from time to time, holding the following offices of Borrower Representative, President, Treasurer, Manager and such other officers and authorized signatories as may from time to time be set forth in separate resolutions.

-35-

(c)                This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of each of the parties hereto; provided, however, that, no Loan Party may assign this Agreement or any rights or duties hereunder without Lender’s prior written consent and any prohibited assignment shall be absolutely void. No consent to an assignment by Lender shall release any Borrower from its Obligations.  Lender may assign this Agreement and its rights and duties hereunder and no consent or approval by any Loan Party is required in connection with any such assignment.  Lender reserves the right to sell, assign, transfer, negotiate or grant participations in all or any part of, or any interest in Lender’s rights and benefits hereunder.  In connection with any assignment or participation, Lender may disclose all documents and information which Lender now or hereafter may have relating to Loan Parties or Loan Parties’ businesses.  To the extent that Lender assigns its rights and obligations hereunder to another party, Lender thereafter shall be released from such assigned obligations to Loan Parties and such assignment shall effect a novation between any Loan Party and such other party.

(d)                Each Borrower agrees that any and all Loans made by Lender to such Borrower or for its account under this Agreement shall be conclusively deemed to have been authorized by such Borrower and to have been made pursuant to duly authorized requests therefor on its behalf.

(e)                Unless otherwise defined in this Agreement, capitalized words shall have the meanings set forth in the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts as of the date of this Agreement.

(f)                 Paragraph and section headings used in this Agreement are for convenience only, and shall not affect the construction of this Agreement.  If one or more provisions of this Agreement (or the application thereof) shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect in any jurisdiction, the same shall not invalidate or render illegal or unenforceable such provision (or its application) in any other jurisdiction or any other provision of this Agreement (or its application).  This Agreement is the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any prior written or verbal communications or instruments relating thereto.

(g)                Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, all notices or demands by any party relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be in writing and (except for financial statements and other informational documents which may be sent by first-class mail, postage prepaid) shall be personally delivered or sent by registered or certified mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested), overnight courier, or facsimile to Borrower Representative or to Lender, as the case may be, at its address set forth at the end of this Agreement.

The parties hereto may change the address at which they are to receive notices hereunder, by notice in writing in the foregoing manner given to the other. All notices or demand sent in accordance with this section shall be deemed received on the earlier of the date of actual receipt or three (3) days after the deposit thereof in the mail.

(h)                Lender shall have no obligation to maintain any electronic records or any documents, schedules, invoices, agings or any other paper delivered to Lender by any Loan Party  in connection with this Agreement or any other agreement for more than four (4) months after receipt of the same by Lender.

-36-

(i)                  Neither this Agreement nor any uncertainty or ambiguity herein shall be construed or resolved against Lender or Loan Parties, whether under any rule of construction or otherwise. On the contrary, this Agreement has been reviewed by all parties and shall be construed and interpreted according to the ordinary meaning of the words used so as to fairly accomplish the purposes and intentions of all parties hereto.

(j)                  Each provision of this Agreement shall be severable from every other provision of this Agreement for the purpose of determining the legal enforceability of any specific provision.

(k)               This Agreement, together with the other documents and instruments executed concurrently herewith represent the entire and final understanding of the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and shall not be contradicted or qualified by evidence of any prior, contemporaneous or subsequent other agreement, oral or written, before the date hereof.

(l)                  This Agreement can only be amended by a writing signed by both Lender and Loan Parties.

(m)              Lender hereby notifies Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party and each other party to the transaction contemplated hereunder, which information includes the name and address of such Loan Party and each such other party and other information that will allow Lender to identify such Loan Party and each such other party in accordance therewith.

(n)                This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be effective upon delivery and, thereafter, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which shall be taken as one and the same instrument with the same effect as if each party hereto had signed on the same signature page. Any signature page of this Agreement may be detached from any counterpart of this Agreement without impairing the legal effect of any signature thereto and may be attached to another part of this Agreement identical in form hereto and having attached to it one or more additional signature pages.  This Agreement may be transmitted by facsimile machine or by electronic mail in portable document format ("pdf") and signatures appearing on faxed instruments and/or electronic mail instruments shall be treated as original signatures.  Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic method of transmission also shall deliver an original executed counterpart of this Agreement, but the failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability or binding effect hereof.

(o)                The laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts shall govern the construction of this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto.  This Agreement shall take effect as a sealed instrument.
